Setting System Security Parameters

Setting Transfer Restrictions

The factory setting for Transfer Restrictions is On. When Transfer Restrictions are set to On, transfers, Automated Attendant Direct Extension transfers and Personal Operator transfers are restricted to extensions that are included in the PARTNER Messaging extension list. The extension list includes extensions assigned as Mailbox extensions, Automated Attendant extensions, Transfer–Only extensions and Fax extensions. This helps to prevent users and callers from committing toll fraud by transferring to an outside operator who could place a call for them. Transfer Restrictions can be set to Off; however, changing the factory setting to this option is strongly discouraged, as it leaves your system vulnerable to toll fraud.

Refer to PARTNER Messaging Planning Form 5 - Security Settings for the Transfer Restrictions setting for your system.

Setting the Transfer Restrictions to Off leaves your system vulnerable to toll fraud. It is strongly recommended that you keep the Transfer Restrictions set to On.
